With Solace, you get both a patient advocate and a supporting physician, which we refer to as your “care team”.
Your advocate will be there to manage the day to day aspects of your care: coordinating with doctors, researching potential solutions and communicating updates to you.
Your supporting physician can unlock resources for you and your advocate that might otherwise be out of reach.
When standard H. pylori treatment fails, finding effective antibiotics becomes challenging. Solace advocates coordinate antibiotic sensitivity testing, access salvage therapy protocols, and ensure proper treatment duration. They work with GI specialists on complex regimens, manage bismuth-based quadruple therapy, and ensure final bacterial eradication. Your advocate persists until H. pylori is completely eliminated.
Ulcers from arthritis medications or aspirin require balancing pain management with ulcer healing. Solace advocates coordinate between GI and rheumatology, find alternative pain management strategies, and ensure protective medications during NSAID use. They help heal ulcers without sacrificing pain control, coordinate COX-2 inhibitors when appropriate, and prevent future NSAID damage. Your advocate balances competing medical needs.
Rare causes like gastrinomas require specialized evaluation and treatment beyond standard ulcer care. Solace advocates coordinate gastrin level testing, arrange specialized imaging for tumor location, and connect with neuroendocrine specialists. They ensure rare causes aren't missed, coordinate surgical evaluation when appropriate, and manage high-dose acid suppression. Your advocate investigates when ulcers don't follow typical patterns.
Preventing ulcer recurrence requires addressing all risk factors and maintaining vigilance. Solace advocates ensure H. pylori stays eradicated, coordinate safe pain management alternatives, and monitor for symptom recurrence. They help modify lifestyle factors, ensure stress management support, and maintain appropriate acid suppression. Your advocate creates comprehensive prevention plans for lasting stomach health.
